IMPORTANT.

People generally give little
thought to the Importance of the
first work of the Legislature, viz:
the election of officers. They gen.
orally seem to think that there is
somewhat of Importance connected
with the election of president, and
beyond this they take but little inter-
est in the matter. Really, however,
there is as much Importance attach
ed to the Office of secretary rs to
that of president. The secretary
has charge of all documents belong
ing to the assembly. Past expert
ence teaches that he can mislay or
lose bills. lie can influence legis-
lation by changing the order of bills
or resolutions. He can carry docu-
ments about the streets, and make
improper use of them, when the
Legislature is not in session. In
view of these powers it is seen that
this office should be filled by a
thoroughly honest as well as capable
man. Too great care cannot be
exercised in the selection of secre-
tary.

The NECK OF The GIRAFFE.

In spite of its enormous length it
only possesses the seven vertebre
which are common to nearly all the
mammals. In consequence it is
nearly as inhexible as a wooden bar
of equal length, so that the many
pretty pictures which represent
CRATES curving their necks grace
fully after the manner of swans, are
ludicrously wrong. "But," said
the DIRECTORS, "if it had so long and
infexible a neck it could not Craze,
and being a ruminant animal, would
die of hunger" 1t is quite true
that 1t cannot Craze. 1t can only
lower its head near the ground by
spreading its forelegs as widely as
possible and drawing its hind legs
under them, thus presenting a most
ludicrous aspect. In its native state
it never, as far as know, even at
tempts to lower its head to the
ground, but in captivity it can be
induced to do so by laying on the
ground large lump of sugar, Of
which it is inordinately fond. The
fact is that it is intended to Craze,
not on the ground, but on the leaves
of trees. The acacia, or mimosa, is
its favorite tree, and the Dutch colo
nists have in consequence called the
acacia by the name of ''kameel-
dorn"-i. e., camel thorn, they in
variably giving the name of "camel"
to the giraffe. This mode of feeding
involves another anomalous struc-
ture. This is the tongue on which
the giraffe is almost as much de-
pendent as is the elephant on its
proboscis. 1t is possessed of Won
derful powers of extention and con-
traction, and can be narrowed until
il almost resembles the correspond
ing organ of the ant-eater. The
peculiar powers of the tongue can
we'll be seen when the animal takes
the sugar, from the ground. 1t does
not attempt to seize the sugar with
its lips, but protrudes its tongue to
its fullest extent, twists the narrow
ed tip around the sugar, and so
draws the coveted dainty into its
mouth. When it feeds on the trees
it picks off leaf after leaf quite
daintily, selecting those which are
most to its TASTE Good Words.

the PASSPORT LAW.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-In last even
ing's issue of your paper the pres
ent Passport Law was attacked by
"Resident" as a harsh measure,
and, from his point of view means
of private oppression, etc.
Allow us space to tell how this
very obnoxious 90 law aided us in
expressing one of the honest (O
class it was designed to reach in its
relation to the business community
(this seems to be the line in which
it hurts him most).
By the last steamer for the Coast
the Commodore of our late navy was
booked to leave, he owed us an ac-
count Of two years standing which
we were satisfied would be lost I'M
less the law could be brought to our
aid. We gave the matter in the
hands of a collector, who, being re.
fused payment on presentation Of
the bill, stopped the Admiral's pass
port. This course brought him to
time and at the eleventh hour he
voluntarily "stood up" and paid his
bill. Were we to do business in the
"pretty well understood" way that
PRESIDENT" suggests is common
practice among most tradespeople,
we might not have given our debtor
so much trouble.
That last argument was fit. con-
clusion to the proceeding ones for
abolition of the law. Facts are
what we want in these days. Light,
more light and over your own name
Mr.. Resident, that we may judge
intelligently. If any one has been
50 sore abused and taken by the
throat give us his name and the
circumstance that we may know and
and feel for him.
There are undoubtedly better rea-
sons for the continuance of our
Passport Law in its relation to the
community at large than have been
given in this recital of one of our
experiences under it and we hope
for its continuance as a wholesome
check on the promiscuous departure
of those who collectively are classed
as "bilks." With thanks for your
indulgence.

THE OPIUM TRAFFIC.

EDITOR BULLETN:-1ou and your
correspondents have been very Sc
we're on the opium traffic, and its
abolition is a foregone conclusion.
The frauds connected with the issu-
ance of the opium license, and the
fragrant violation of the opium law
itself by the licensee in establishing
agencies in the other islands, merit
attention; but indignation should
not run riot TO the injury of the tax
payers.
If the opium traffic be suppressed
by legislative action the country
must compensate the licensee, and
the Chinese Government would not
be slow to press such claim. But
if the Reform Government does its
duty the traffic may be suppressed
without any demand for compensa-
ton arising. The Acknowledgement
has simply to enforce the law as in
terpreted by the Supreme Court to
compel the licensee to voluntarily
abandon the license and go out of
the business, because opium to-day
cannot be lawfully sold, except as
medicine prescribed by regular
practitioner it cannot, however, be
prescribed for or sold to an opium
smoker or eater without incurring
heavy penalties.
And now the question arises:
Why has there been only a mere
show of graphing with this recog-
nized evil on the part of the Govern
ment? 1t is safe to say that one
fifth of the Customs duties of late
has come from opium. Are the
health and morals of the entire popu-
lation to suffer in order that revenue
may be collected from opium and
disbursed by the Government? 1t
looks very much that way. This is
something which needs reformation.
Above all, don't let the Legislature
fall into the trap of legislating the
opium license out of existence and
providing compensation, because
this trap is baited with public SEN
timent and collateral fees. Compel
the Cabinet to do its duty in the
premises, and get rid of the opium
traffic by rendering it impossible to
carry it on. The Supreme Court
has made plain how this can be
done, Its decision substantially
amounts to this, that the licensee
may import opium and pay duty
but he cannot lawfully sell it. If
that position is enforced by the law
department of the Government there
will soon be an end of the opium
trade. FAIR PLAY.

THE RAMIE INDUSTRY.

EDITOR BULLETIN The financial
reports published since the present
Government took Office show that a
sum of money has been paid by the
Treasury to encourage the cultiva-
ton and manufacture of ramie. This
being so one would like to know the
present status of that industry? Is
it likely to be pushed to a success
full experiment, or are its only earn
ings likely to be payments from the
tax receipts Of the country? Con-
sidering the hopes and expectations
raised by the promoters of this en-
terprise these inquiries are pertinent.
The Legislature might dip into the
ramie mystery. Yours,

A MARINE DRIVE SUGGESTED.

EDITOR BULLETIN: AS the Legis-

ing the contraction of a carriage

together with an estimate of cost,
to the Legislature for possible action
thereon. Should this suggestion be

ANSWER TO Mr.. SPENCER.

EDITOR BULLETIN: Il congratu-
late the Inspector General of Immi-
grafton on the manly way in which
he confessed, in Tuesdays issue,
some of his errors, if not all, and 1
hope the admission of the others will
soon follow, for, although l am in
the same position as he is, my in
formation being likewise "obtained
from the managers Tor their repre-
sentatives) of the different planta-
tions,' yet l have this advantage
over the Inspector General, viz:
that whilst his information was oral
and subject to misconstruction, mine
is in writing and cannot admit I'M
certain Interpretation. However
every man can err, but he does de-
serve true commentator and the
highest credit, he who frankly con-
fesses it.
am also happy to note the en-
phatic manner in which Mr.. Spencer
proclaims that "no one more than
himself is friendly disposed towards
the Portuguese" for whom his COM
munication is very complimentary,
yet only just, and l am glad 10 state
that the letter in which 1 criticized
the official report, was in no way
directed against Mr.. Spencer per-
sonally.
I have not the pleasure of the
gentleman's acquaintance, but l am
told he is a most liberal and sin
cerely honest man, and that, in
former capacity as manager of
plantation, he was positively adored
by his Portuguese laborers, who
still call him their "father."
1t is therefore all the more to be
regretted that he should have al
lowed his official report to convey a
most distinct impression, for all the
public, of these two erroneous facts:
1st-that, if not Mr.. Spencer, at
least the Inspector-Ge of Immi-
grafton was partial to japanese i'm
migration; and, 2nd-that he felt
justified in saying that the Portu-
guese, as far as the value of their
labor went, only came second to the
japanese. 1t is clear now that the
Inspector General inadvertently al
lowed his views to reflect the infu-
ence occult of some parties who wish
the Asiatic immigration to be re-
vived. But ] do not doubt also
that, in some future official report
of his, Mr.. Spencer will do what is
necessary to counteract the erron-
eous impression and the popular bad
feeling which resulted from his last
one, and this all the more, as | am
glad to see that he virtually agrees
with me on every point of the SUBJ
ject of Portuguese immigration.
At any rate, the principal object
of my article, viz: to awaken the
public attention against any posi-
BILE intention of the Government to
60 again into Asiatic immigration
this object / say, having been fully
attained, | courteously close my
controversy with Mr.. Spencer and
thank the BULLETIN, Mr.. Editor, for
the kindness and impartiality with
which you have allowed my views
to be placed before the public.
